Abstract:This study aimed to simulate the heat and mass transfer process of a spiral tubular Lithium Bromide/Water (LiBr/H2O) absorber based on a non-linear mathematical model developed in MATLAB program, using an iterative numerical method and experimental data from the literature for calibration and validation. For this, the absorber was simplified as a descending film flat plate and the simulation considered three different cases of cooling water temperature variation: 21.5°C, 23.5°C, 25.6°C. The effective mass tran… Show more
